I Thought I Was A Devil

Chapter 10

I was shifted to the general ward….more of a VIP ward after becoming stable…Jules informed me that it was Dr. Emma who donated her blood on the day I was admitted to the hospital….she felt guilty that I almost ended up in coffin trying to save her child. Good news is, Victoria has been sponsoring my treatment….bad news is now I have scar marks on my arms and leg along with bruises and fractures....do I care? No…does it look ugly? Maybe….does it hurt? Like a bitch. The pain made me feel alive….and the plus point was…I didn’t have to give exams this time. I received updates from Jules regarding the match day…that day after reaching Stadium, she started feeling anxious regarding the threats….by mistake she overheard a conversation about the accident and ran out of the station just before the match…because the captains from both teams were absent the match got postponed…. Currently police investigation is going on to find the mastermind behind the incident.

 

For some reason….the hospital staffs and even the owner is really eager to hold me back in the hospital….it’s already been more than a month and whenever I asked for discharge they act like I am speaking to the wall….their attitude is weird I thought while watching movie in LCD TV of the VIP room and being fed popcorn by Jules. I don’t understand why Jules and Victoria been acting all depressed when it’s me who has been forced to stay in the hospital even though most of my plasters have been removed and my body is almost healed…’ITS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE BROKEN SOMETHING, LET ME OUT ALREADY!!!’ I thought….but why should I bother, when it doesn’t cost me a single buck.

 

My family doesn’t even have the slightest idea that their ‘beloved’ Anne is currently receiving the Queen treatment laying on hospital bed….after I regained my consciousness…the hospital administration asked for my parents phone number so that they are notified about my current conditions and can take me back for further healing at home….I squeezed out as much tears as I could from my eyes, even put some glycerine that I asked Jules to bring along with her for extra affect and made those perfect puppy expression begging them not to call my parents as ‘they would be worried for their lovely child’….Even to the extent of saying that my mother has serious anxiety issues…. Finally Victoria had to interfere and they promised that they won’t try contacting my parents regarding the issue. In reality, I was really scared…..I was scared that they won’t bother to come and visit me now that I am alive….just like they skipped every parents teachers meeting and whenever they were called to visit school for me….just like they forgot my birthdays even though Angela and I share the same birth date….I felt maybe…maybe they will think it’s just an extra burden to take care of me….and I was not prepared for their reaction….anyways it’s better this way I have been surrounded by people who actually gives a fuck, I just wish…Maria was here…sometimes I miss her more than I realise.

 

Me: Jules….Can we go to the rooftop?....I am getting bored of sitting here….(I pout like a child)

 

What is wrong with me? Recently I have been acting like a small kid in front of these two people…. Victoria is hard to melt but Jules always gives away whenever I behave like this….she finds it ‘cute’. I looked in her eyes like a puppy begging her to take me to the roof. Jules sighed helping me out as we climbed the stairs to the rooftop, the night sky was filled with beautiful stars…a cool Breeze blew my hair hitting my face as I shivered slightly, I walked towards the edge of the roof and sat there…. From the high building everything looked tiny down there….the street lights….the road….the moving cars….the tiny ant like people walking around ….”Jules….come and sit here….be careful not to fall…..” Jules sits beside me, as both of us gazed at the beautiful scenery mesmerized, for a moment we forgot our problems….lost in the present….Yes….you heard it right…lost in the present….never knew living in present could be so gorgeous….sometimes us humans forget to live in the most important time….. being wrapped with past regrets and future worries….have we ever took a pause to enjoy the time we have in our hand?....have we ever bothered to look up at the sky admiring the fluffy clouds or the moving wind or even a simple walk? Maybe….maybe not….who knows…..
